Retired Bass Oreno by Darren Maurer

5" x 7"I missed posting a painting yesterday. I found myself with very little time to paint as I was catching up on some household chores that had been ignored the past few weeks. I decided I would rather miss a day here and there rather than post something that wasn't good work. This painting shows an old very worn out Bass Oreno fishing lure. It is retired and hangs from a rusty nail after many years of successful topwater fishing action. I love old fishing lures like this one. They each have a story to tell and maybe remind you of the long ago fishing partner. This one reminds me of my Grandpa. Actually... all fishing lures remind me of my Grandpa! This is painting 42 in my Painting A Day Series.Painting Sold

About Me

Name:Darren Maurer

Location:Sioux City, Iowa

I'm an artist from Sioux City, Iowa. I grew up in Grand Island, Nebraska and have lived in Sioux City since 1989. Visit my website at www.darrenmaurer.com to see the full volume of my work. For this blog I'm going to try to make a painting each day. I may miss a day here and there just due to that thing called life. The paintings on this blog will be small oils. (I like to call them Miniature Masterpieces.) On occasion I may post a larger painting with the dimensions listed. I'm going to use an auction format (via ebay) to sell the Miniture Masterpieces. Paintings that don't sell at auction can be seen in the archive section and can be purchased with a personal check, money order, pay pal, or major credit cards through pay pal at the listed price.
